Lovely heartwarming story
I loved this series. At the beginning I was like 'ah, another kind of cheesy Japanese drama' - but the effort the show puts into making you care and root for every character (even ones that initially come across badly) is wonderful.
Japanese wise - due to the cooking vocab I turned the japanese subs on at times. Mostly everyday vocab though.
